So how did your SDCC Pop Hunting Go?

[mel]

Which ones ended up not being shared other than Mr. Toad and Jolly Roger? Does anyone know?

[runtodere]

Ok - got most of the Conan ones, missed out on Mono of course. Got most of the shared ones online which made things easier. Really wanted Jeckl and Hyde but didn't get that one

[PoP305]

Great,picked up Manbat at Gamestop and just ordered Bruce from TRU.

[nascar246788]

My funko pop hunting was definitely nowhere near equal to 2016 haul of storm trooper, ghostbusters, and superman conan through Hyatt lottery, awesome Freddy Funkos through funko fundays, and got most of the shared exclusives I want.

This year I didn't get into Fundays 2017, which would have been plenty enough to beat last years run. Those Funday pops looked awesome this year that I have no hop of getting without sabotaging the future of my house plans. In the end, I was able to get a lot of the shared exclusives I wanted:

1. Aladdin and abu on carpet dorbz ridez through box lunch
2. Holographic Princess Leia and R2-D2 for my wife through Gamestop
3. Harry Potter on Broom and Flocked Lorax through Barnes and Noble
4. Dorbz: Jester Bugs Bunny & Knight Yosemite Sam 2-pack from Hot Topic


I also was able to pick up FYE exclusives
1. WWE New Day with Booty O's 3 pack blue outfits
2. Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor

Common funko pop that I have wanted and needed to apply a coupon at box lunch
1. Woody that is black and white

2016 SDCC exclusive:
1. BB-8: I already had BB-8 with shared exclusive sticker. I saw a booth selling it for $20 with actual SDCC sticker, so I got it to at least have one from the collection have the official SDCC sticker. If they were selling it for more than $20, I wouldn't have gotten it as a sticker isn't super important to me.

The funko pops I have left:

1. Mr. Toad
2. Tigger
3. Flash Conan

There is a very high likelihood I have forgotten one or two items. I will check when I get home.

On a final note, thank you so much to Funko for providing shared exclusives to your fan base and collectors that can't go to the con, can't get in the booth, or make it to fundays. Your desire to satisfy as many of your fans as possible is what makes you a company I will stay behind even when the popularity goes away.

Pretty well. Ended up with Blue Scooby, Jedi and White Walker Conan and Chase Robot Batman. I'm happy! Lol

[Rice71]

Wasn't able to Find The Tick, hoping there's a common release that's just not GITD.

Weird that Tick was a hard one to get at sdcc. I was able to get it but two friends didn't get it. But they got chrome batman and I couldn't him.

[Geescube]

Man, what a waste of Preview Night trying online. Super horrid. I missed preview night in person and tried on B Lunch, HT, Barnes and Gamestop and all sites had some of issue. B and N was probably the worst.

[theraven00]

Got most of what I wanted (Snoke, Baxter Stockman, and Tank Trooper). The only ones I missed out on were Daffy Duck and Jedi Conan (but got Flash and White Walker, so no complaints there).

[OUTSIDER31]

GOT the last hucklebeery hound 4pack soda Thursday morning

[eljefe81]

If nothing gets cancelled it will be a pretty successful few days for me. Already received Hei-Hei and Snoke from Amazon, got Bodhi from Target, R2/Leia is shipped. Combat trooper received (and returned and reordered since the box was smashed and Walmart still had it in stock). Got Roxy and Skeletor/Panthor from Funko Shop. Snuck in an order on B&N (after numerous site crashes) for Harry and Scare Glow. Harry shipped, still waiting on Scare Glow. Got an order in on Box Lunch right for the Mountain and Scooby Doo, but no shipping notification yet, which worries me since others have gotten one. And won the Jedi Conan. So pretty good with what I've already got, with the potential to be great

And a special thanks to Markenty on here for his help in organizing a group to share notifications and help everyone get stuff when it went live!

[JsinLegacy]

For myself, everything went smoothly and perfectly. I was able to get all the items I was after thankfully.
Although, I was stressed the entire time waiting for them to show up in the shop.. (last day)

[DigsUT]

The only thing I wanted and did not get, was Snoke. Luckily, it was a shared exclusive:)

[snapstar]

Didn’t have a long list of stuff I wanted but got most of what I wanted for not being at the con. Had a few orders canceled but nothing that I can live without. Most excited about Sike-O-Shriner got lucky and refreshed just in time. This year was pretty easy now just to look for some conans and limited stuff I didn’t get a chance to get.

[NavyCop]

Went amazing, started Thursday with Brother in law who just started collecting Funko items this year. Got everything we went looking for(Scareglow, Tick, HP stuff, etc). Friday morning caught flight to San Diego, while enroute friend who was in line at Pop Up Shop offered to grab me a few things so scored my Marvin Shirt and Big Gruesome. Second friend messaged while still on flight that he was in line at SDCC and if wife still wanted Ares or not, she did and he grabbed one. Then Fundays delivered big time as did several friends there hooking it up. Saturday while wandering around San Diego got my Mean Machine Dorbz Rides on FunkoShop.com via mobile.

Easiest Con season so far and left San Diego yesterday with a super packed luggage.

[jimma]

Got everything i wanted and then some! This years SDCC was a total success

[matrixman9]

Which ones ended up not being shared other than Mr. Toad and Jolly Roger? Does anyone know?

if we are including websites worldwide, I dont think Ochaco was available anywhere outside the con to purchase at retail. And then a few of the pop up shop things(soda, and a couple of the pops)

[superkatchick]

I didn't try for any exclusives but did get lucky with Friday Conan tickets so I got the White Walker Conan! Picked up a Chocolate Majin Buu, AAA Anime Super Saiyan Vegeta and a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta for very decent prices in the exhibit floor! Plus scored a Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black on Amazon for $25 so I'm happy with my weekend!

[theoneupper02]

My hunt will be fairly successful if the number of pre-orders I have don't get cancelled!

[fischmioli]

I got the few that I wanted, Tinkles, South Park, and Stranger Things. Also picked up the Blue Scooby and Scareglow. Grabbed some things for my friends as well!

[Jortega321]

I got all that I wanted except TT Blue Batman and GITD Baxter.

[ghostedaway]

I was lucky enough to get everything I wanted except that pesky Megazord.

[daveruby]

Snoke came today in a damaged box

[Kfresh]

I got some online but the worst part is that I was actually at SDCC and still not able to get into the Pop up shop or the booth :/

[HaloHawk87]

I unfortunately completely struck out for this SDCC and got nothing. I had an amazing SDCC last year and got almost everything I wanted then, so I guess I was due for some bad luck this year. The fact that I had significantly fewer wants this year had an impact, though. There were some things I looked for at the mall, but a couple were already sold out and another couple had quality control issues that turned me off. I had similar issues online. The Night King was sold out before I knew it would even be sold online, and after spending a day and a half refreshing Walmart for the Tank Trooper, it went up with a shipping price that pushed it over my $20 personally set limit, so I decided to skip it. It was my top want from SDCC, but not a must-have, and not worth the price to me. I could have gone ship-to-store, but I knew that would almost guarantee a damaged box. Wasn't worth the risk.

I hope NYCC is better. It can't be as bad as SDCC was.

[Theshowman619]

My friends got some stuff for me at the pop up shop, was able to order a couple offline. Got my majority at fundays. All in all did well

[Jay_voodoo0819]

I got 3 of the ones I wanted. Nothing in the Pop shop though which was sad. But so thankful that some awesome fanatics helped me get T Dog. Sike O Shriner and Scareglow.

[2017fanatic]

Got 3/4 Conan giveaways from the show and twitter and was able to get the Mono on eBay. Also got the Carbon fiber D.Va on preview night thanks to the friendly people at Blizzard... got what I wanted still looking for Flash conan

[hailmary25]

This was my 3rd SDCC as a funko collector. ( I did not attend). Shopping in store was easy I got what I wanted simple list. Harry, LOTR 2 pack, Luna, CLara and from Gemini I got the Mountain, Scott Pilgrim (W/sword) and my SDCC grail the Megazord.

I am certified sticker idiot ( I know I know) and when the hype dies down I will begin swapping out the SCE for the SDCC sticker.

[BlackLabelSociety]

Weren't many that I wanted thankfully. Just got Night King, Armoured Mountain from my local store.
I had originally budgeted getting 4 pops, but since I didnt really want any of the rest, I splurged a bit more on a Blue Batman from EMP. Just hope the order comes through now.

[ruxy_100]

We are very luck in Australia in that the shared exclusives are note exclusive to particular stores. All zings, online stores and local comic book stores etc. are able to get the full suite of exclusives in (but for some numbered ones which were only available through Popcultcha, and a couple that didn't make it to Australia at all).

That makes it so much easier - because you usually just need to hit up one store to get everything.

I work all day on Fridays, so I usually go after work. In the past the ones I've wanted have generally been available still by that time, but some of the ones I wanted this year were particularly popular, so I decided to go before work for the first time.

I got there about 45 minutes before the store opened, and there were a handful of people lined up. That grew to about 20-30 people by 9am.

I was really impressed by how well it went. The workers came out just before the store opened - told us the rules (1 of each per person) and that they had received PLENTY, so there was no need to rush.

Everyone calmly entered the store, made space for each other. The people at the front passed things to the people at the back who couldn't reach. The staff were super helpful, running out the back to grab additional stock when items ran out. Everyone was really respectful and happy. It was wonderful.

I got everything I went for, including a couple I didn't plan to get haha. I went to get the Megazord, Clara, Luna and the Star Wars 2-pack. I had been on the fence about the Ocammy and Tigger. When I saw how beautiful the Ocammy was I grabbed one of those. And when I saw how bad the flocking on Tigger look, I decided not to get him.

I'm very glad I went in the morning. I was walking past the store after the store and decided to pop in to see what they had left - and the Megazord, Luna and Occamy had all sold out.

Depending on what exclusives we get for NYCC, I might need to try the morning thing again.

[Katers]

Awful. I didn't even find one SDCC Pop! It was the same everywhere: sold out.

Any in particular you're looking for? I know a few stores around me still have some in stock, certainly willing to make a trip to help a funatic out!

[Dumplingbox]

Terrible! After camping out all night on Wednesday and sacrificing my preview night I got screwed by line cutters and ended up with only a single Gwenpool Pop. I got the Bruce Lee Pops from BAIT tho, so that made me smile again.

[Katers]

Managed to get all the ones I wanted at retail, but was more work than it should have been *coughtB&Ncough* Just waiting for my HT order to get here now, have a label # but it has not moved yet.

I thought last year's B&N website fiasco was bad, but it seems like this year was actually worse. They REALLY need to do something so their servers can handle us!

Well said on the thanks! And seconded - thank you for making so many of these shared!

[Katers]

Sorry to hear you had those problems, sounds like we were having the same problems! Drained my battery TWICE trying to get through to those sites as well. So frustrating! Just have to hope by 2018 I'll have forgotten this trauma!

[Bookishkali]

My SDCC went pretty well! I had a small list of items-Hei Hei, Negatron, Occamy, Tigger, and Scooby Doo tee. Managed to get everything except my Scooby Doo tee at retail!

[Katers]

I got some online but the worst part is that I was actually at SDCC and still not able to get into the Pop up shop or the booth :/

Don't feel badly - there are more of us that can't get in than there are that do! Tried for the booth once, and spent the rest of the day exhausted with no pops to show for it!

[Macmill22]

Luckily the only item I missed out on was Scott Pilgrim. Just waiting for Roxy to get here then can focus my efforts on him.

[Katers]

Now that it's over, it seems like my collecting went fine, but wow was the during stressful! Managed to get through on HT online to order my Occamy and Luna, but had to do it on a hotel computer rather than my cell phone, and just barely made it under the time limit imposed on the computer! Ended up leaving SDCC Thursday morning to go line up at the Gamestop next to my hotel to get the Tony Stark pop - I was 15th in line, but they had around 30 so I was good there. Picked up a Negaduck on a whim for a line buddy that had wanted it from the booth, and passed it on later in the con to them. And because it was one of the few sites that was working, and nice to me, I ordered Bucky Cap off Walgreens since I wanted to have one nice ordering experience.

Thought I was going to strike out completely on B&N Harry - what a saga there! I have in my inbox a paypal confirmation from them, but even now nothing has come through on B&N indicating the order went through. Called all around trying to track one down, and was striking out everywhere. Kind of resigned to paying a flipper, when a friend offered up her mom in CO as a personal shopper. Started calling her 4 local B&Ns, and lo and behold was able to direct her to a store just in time to buy the last one! When my friend told me she'd pick it up and bring it back on her next visit, I told her I'd send her with a pop protector. I don't think she's stopped laughing at me yet. But I don't care, because...success!

[Spike Spiegel]

Got everything I wanted, just waiting on my Hot Topic order to get here. Only missed out on Roxy sadly ): I'll eventually get her when the price goes down though.
